UPDATE:
Police have confirmed that a 22-year-old Jamaican woman is the country’s latest murder victim.
Police PRO Inspector David Welch said residents of Bibby’s Land, St Michael heard a gunshot between 4 am and 5 am today and notified the landlord for the building.
The woman was later found lying in a pool of blood in her top floor apartment.
Information suggests she arrived here from Jamaica several months ago.
Her name is not being released until her next of kin has been notified.

There is urgent need for amendments to the legislation in relation to Domestic Violence. Why must our women folk be slaughtered when they decide to step away from relationships. 3 BRUTAL murders of young productive women are 3 too many. Likewise, 6 or 8 young men are too many. We must work together in homes and communities to devise strategies and methodologies to resolve conflicts. Maiming or murder or any other form of threat to life or limb is not the answer.
